    Procedure 7 steps

    1

    Step 1 of 7 (current): Remove the caliper

    Done

    Remove the dust caps 7 and unscrew the guide bolts 6. Hang the caliper up with wire, never by the brake hose.

      Step 2 of 7: Remove the pads

      Done

      Take the pads out of the carrier. Note the position of the wear indicator. The pads are worn out below 2.5 mm lining thickness, without backing plate (Specs › Brakes).

        Step 3 of 7: Check the brake disc

        Done

        CAUTION

        The minimum thickness depends on the brake size. While the brake equipment code is unknown, identify the disc by its diameter and thickness before you compare.

        Measure the disc thickness at several points with a micrometer. Replace the discs (both sides) if any reading is below the minimum thickness:

        1. 288×25 mm disc (1ZE): 22.5 mm.
        2. 276×24 mm disc (1ZD): 21.5 mm.

        If the discs are replaced, on each side:

        1. Unscrew the caliper carrier bolts 5 and remove the carrier. The bolts are single-use: discard them.
        2. Remove the locating screw 14 and take off the disc. Clean the contact face of the wheel hub.
        3. Fit the new disc for the brake fitted: Z9Q 449 777 V 1 for the 288 mm brake (1ZE), Z9Q 449 777 W 1 for the 276 mm brake (1ZD). Tighten the locating screw to .
        4. Fit the carrier with NEW bolts and tighten them to .

          Step 4 of 7: Reset the piston

          Done

          Push the piston back with the piston resetting tool MX-T905. Watch the brake fluid reservoir: it must not overflow.

            Step 5 of 7: Clean the carrier

            Done

            Clean the pad seats in the carrier with a wire brush. Apply a thin film of assembly paste to the pad backing plates only.

              Step 6 of 7: Install pads and caliper

              Done

              Insert the new pads for the brake fitted: Z9Q 922 047 M 2 for the 288 mm brake (1ZE), Z9K 922 047 Z 2 for the 276 mm brake (1ZD).

              Fit the caliper and tighten NEW guide bolts to . Refit the dust caps.

                Step 7 of 7: Fit the wheels and restore the pedal

                Done

                WARNINGBrakes are ineffective until the pedal has been pumped

                Press the brake pedal firmly several times with the vehicle stationary, until the pads contact the discs and the pedal is firm. Do not move the vehicle before.

                WARNINGWheel bolt torque unresolved

                The sources disagree (A 115 Nm vs B 130 Nm). Do not release the vehicle until the value is confirmed against the current OEM revision.

                Fit the wheels and tighten the wheel bolts to . Check the brake fluid level.
